Trip - Clearwater Fishing Charters| Private - 2 Hour Kids Fishing Trip on May 26, 2026

Captain Mikey was awesome! He was super knowledgeable about the area and all the fish we caught. He was great with my kids who are 7 and 4 years old and answered the many questions they asked him about fishing. His boat was really nice and the kids just had a blast. Overall it was a 5-star experience. The kids were asking to go again before we even got dropped off!

Trip - Half Day Clearwater Fishing Charter on May 15, 2026

Captain Mikey was terrific!! He knew exactly where to take us to catch big fish including grouper, snapper, hogfish and many more. He is very knowledgeable and provided a great fishing adventure for our family of 5. We even saw dolphins eating our catches that we threw back. We would definitely do another family fishing outing with him again. Thank you so much for a perfect fishing adventure!!

We had an amazing time with Captain Mikey. I booked the charter for the end of May and spoke with the Captain the day before we were supposed to go out. We were scheduled for the morning. He let me know the tides for that weekend were better later in the day but there would be weather coming in then and if we could do it another day. That wasn’t a problem since we are local. He could’ve easily taken us out and said that’s just fishing. But we rescheduled and had a blast. He put in on some fat Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper and Son even landed a nice Hogfish. We’re experienced fishers and are able to bait our own hooks, but Captain Mikey took care of everything from providing all the gear needed to baiting hooks, re rigging rods, pulling fish out of the water and taking them off the hook. So that he could keep our rods in the water to keep catching fish. He even cleaned and filleted all the fish at the end so it was ready to cook that night. I definitely recommend Captain Mikey for any level of fisherman. I will be booking again here in the very near future!!
